这对卢顿来说是一个灾难性的赛季,因为他们挑战英超联赛的希望破灭了,他们面临着连续降级的威胁。
2比0输给宿敌沃特福德是上周末他们最新的失望,很难对他们在周六对阵朴茨茅斯时扭转局面抱有太大信心。
帽匠队在上一场主场比赛中以1比1战平了普利茅斯队,但他们在凯尼尔沃斯路的前四场比赛中未能进球,甚至有人怀疑他们能否战胜联盟;本周末第二大泄密者。
朴茨茅斯在本赛季开局不利,在晋级后的14场比赛中只赢了一场,他们似乎注定要坐在卢顿所在的位置,就在积分榜的底部。
然而,他们恢复得很好,约翰·穆西尼奥;s队与排名垫底的三人队之间已经拉开了9分的差距,因此他们下赛季很有可能仍将处于二线。
在弗拉顿公园取得的优异成绩引领了他们对安全的追求,但他们在最后一场客场比赛中在牛津以2比0的比分取得了宝贵的胜利,这样他们在对阵帽匠队时就可以在此基础上再接再厉。
它们正在上涨,在周六表现出强劲的价值;两周前,在卡萨姆体育场,正确的得分者可能会被2比0的胜利所吸引。
预言:
朴茨茅斯获胜
朴茨茅斯2:0
外文原文如下:
This is turning into a disastrous season for Luton as their hopes of challenging for an immediate Premier League return are in tatters and they are staring a successive relegation in the face.
A 2-0 loss to arch-rivals Watford was the latest disappointment to hit them last weekend and it is difficult to have much faith in them turning their situation around when they entertain Portsmouth on Saturday.
The Hatters claimed a 1-1 draw against fellow strugglers Plymouth in their last home game, but they had failed to net in their previous four at Kenilworth Road and there are even doubts that they will be able to pull it round against the league’s second-leakiest defence this weekend.
Portsmouth endured a miserable start to the season when they won just one of their opening 14 games following promotion and they looked destined to be sat where Luton find themselves, right at the bottom of the table.
However, they have recovered well and John Mousinho’s side have opened a nine-point gap between themselves and the bottom three, so there is a strong chance they will still be in the second tier next season.
Strong results at Fratton Park have spearheaded their push for safety, but they claimed a valuable 2-0 win at Oxford in their last away game so they can build on that when they take on the Hatters.
They are on the up and represent strong value in Saturday’s game while correct-score punters can be tempted by a repeat of the 2-0 success they claimed at the Kassam Stadium a fortnight ago.
Predictions:Portsmouth to Win
Portsmouth 2-0
